As a Bama fan that had the fortunate chance to graduate from Carolina, I always like how delusional USC fans can be.<br /><br />To wit:<br />Columbia, 1999: "Lou Holtz will win us a national championship!" Two bowl wins and an 0-11 season in six years.<br /><br />Columbia, 2004: "Spurrier will win us a national championship!" Well, he is .500 against Clemson. Beats that 63-17 ass-kicking I watched in person.<br /><br />Now that's not to say Bama doesn't have a lot one can call out, but Carolina fans have no room to talk.Newspaper Hackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06549148529701278476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-60225952351215435622007-01-04T18:04:00.000-05:002007-01-04T18:04:00.000-05:00LOL on the song.

I just would like to see how the science experiment proceeds if they do have only a mediocre season over the next years.<br />Nuclear proliferation is right. At some point, realistically the NCAA and univ presidents are going to have to publicly admit that college athletics at the D1 for most schools is no longer about education for athletic kids. Otherwise, I really have to believe that the not-so-subtle trend towards parity will be reversed by schools who can't afford to stay in the business.<br /><br />Yeah, Tressel may be asking for some serious cake this time next week.Out of Conferencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06764075473073790899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-14921703107962766652007-01-04T10:43:00.000-05:002007-01-04T10:43:00.000-05:00Did you hear Lou Holtz going off about how much Sa...Did you hear Lou Holtz going off about how much Saban will regret his choice?

OOC (Jim), you know I'm no 'Bama homer, but I've got to disagree with you about their prospects in '07. They've got a very good team coming back next year and a favorable schedule. Saban is walking into a good football situation, at least.<br /><br />And as for coaching salaries in general, it's being reported that Tressel has a clause in his current contract that if (when) he wins his second MNC in five years, he gets to tear up said contract and renegotiate. His new contract will HAVE to be bigger than Saban's for OSU to save face.<br /><br />No college coach deserves to make more than Tressel right now, but is even he worth this kind of money? Either way, the bar has definitely been raised.<br /><br />Nuclear proliferation?beast in 'bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07562281321749885044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-81684295123144347692007-01-04T09:22:00.000-05:002007-01-04T09:22:00.000-05:00Saban and Mal Moore's duet (with media chorus):

What are they going to do next year when he goes 6-6 and maybe only 8-4 the next year, make Spurrier an offer for $60MM? Bama thinks they have shocked the world. You did alright- you've shocked us at just how desperate things have become at that fine institution you have there. Shelling out all that cash, the begging, the groveling all for your third choice coach- just to try to beat the Tigers. As a Gamecock fan, I wish you guys luck on getting back on track, but give Saban more time than you gave Shula. He may very well need it.Out of Conferencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06764075473073790899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-71375872077408583002007-01-04T08:16:00.000-05:002007-01-04T08:16:00.000-05:00Extremely clever...

Send this to that guy who makes the ACC coaches cartoons.<br /><br />http://www.newsobserver.com/1235/story/481010.html<br /><br />These coaches are one step away from politicians. It doesn't surpise me that Saban ignored what was essentially a campaign promise.<br /><br />However, I didn't think that this was the highlight story of the day for Michigan fans... I was more pleased with Notre Dame's pathetic showing in the Sugar bowl. What makes me even MORE happy is this morning's frontpage article on ESPN.com where Mark Schlabach is permitted to write:<br />"LSU exposed the Irish as BCS pretenders (again)"<br />and he goes on to point out that "next season they'll be playing in some second-tier bowl game in a non-descript place like Shreveport, La., which is where they should have been playing during much of the last two decades."<br /><br />Yay!Matthewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17688441785880465170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-50059719176266653632007-01-04T04:47:00.000-05:002007-01-04T04:47:00.000-05:00Clever...but shouldn't you folks be more concerned...Clever...but shouldn't you folks be more concerned with Michigan choking in the Rose Bowl?<br /><br />I, for one, am glad to know that Saban would rather coach at the Capstone than in the NFL.<br /><br />Roll Tide!Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13164600370556584463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-72058419430781430982007-01-04T04:45:00.000-05:002007-01-04T04:45:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13164600370556584463noreply@blogger.com
